Linear Vibration Welder 6000 Series
Floor Area
The floor area required for the vibration welder depends
on the model and capacity of the machine. Detailed
dimensions are given in Section 13 – Specifications.
Forklift Channels
The vibration welder has built–in forklift channels. Cover
plates for the front and rear channels are supplied. The
front channels are shown in Figure 3-3. Directly above
the channels the stenciling reads LIFT HERE . The rear
forklift channels are shown in Figure 3-4 without the
cover plates installed. During shipping, tie–down boards
are inserted through these channels to secure the welder
to the skid as shown in Figure 3-1.
Determine your forklift requirements by referring to
Section 13 – Specifications, for approximate machine
weight.
Once the welder is positioned in its final location,
secure the four cover plates over the front and rear
forklift channels. The cover plates have 1.5 inches of
sound–absorbing foam on their back to act as acoustic
dampers to reduce the reverberations emitted from the
forklift channels. The covers are shown in Figure 3-5.
The covers must be installed so the vibration welder
will meet the specified sound emission requirements
of 80 dBA during operation.
Do not operate the vibra-
tion welder without the
front and rear forklift chan-
nel cover plates. These
plates serve as acoustic
dampers to reduce the re-
verberations from the steel
channels.
